The Kleve Station is the station of the district town of Kleve on the Lower Rhine . It is located on the left Lower Rhine route and belongs to category 6. While it was once the destination of three railway lines at a railway junction on the Lower Rhine, today it is only the northern end point of a regional express from Düsseldorf main station via Krefeld .
history
The station was opened on March 5, 1863. It was once the junction of three railway lines:
The first of these routes was the Left Lower Rhine route . It was opened on March 5, 1863 and connected Kleve, which then had 8,000 inhabitants, with Goch , Geldern , Kempen and Krefeld . Just two years later, this railway line was expanded to include a connection to Nijmegen and an extension to Arnhem via Spyck and Zevenaar . Since then, express trains have also stopped in Kleve.
Since then the importance of the city has grown, and industrial locations emerged in Kleve from 1888, such as the Van den Bergh margarine works (1888), two shoe factories (1896), the Bensdorp chocolate factory (1903) and the XOX biscuit factory (1910). At the latest with the rail connection to Duisburg , which was opened in 1904, the volume of people and goods in Kleve grew strongly. This meant that the station had to be expanded from 1904 to 1910.
After the Second World War, the station was still increasingly used for hamster trips to Holland, but the economic miracle caused the switch to cars and buses. Therefore, in 1960, passenger traffic to Spyck was completely abandoned. Kleve also lost its importance due to the switch from steam to diesel traction , as the local Bw branch office there was closed in 1963 and the railway personnel were deployed in other departments.
From the 1980s, Kleve began to lose its importance as a freight station. Freight traffic to Nijmegen was stopped in December 1979, the line to Spyck was closed and dismantled in 1982 and in 1989 the Kleve – Xanten line was shut down . The freight yard was shut down in mid-1996 and its tracks dismantled in 2003.
Today only the left Lower Rhine route in the direction of Krefeld is in operation. In the direction of Nijmegen, however, a tourist trolley service is operated. The Lower Rhine route between Kleve and Xanten has been closed and dismantled.
Location and structure
Kleve train station is located in the south-western area of downtown Kleve. There is a bus station in the immediate vicinity . The old town is approx. 500 m away.
The station has a house platform and a side platform on track 2. Access is via a bridge at the northern end of the platforms. The trains have ended at the house platform since Kleve became the end point. The reception building and the bus station with a combined platform are right next to the main platform. The privately owned station building has a travel center.
The line ends in a pull-out track north of the station. To the south-east of the station there is a parking facility for the railcars of the Nordwestbahn.

- ↑ Line 49, the so-called Klever Citybus, is operated with a special multi-articulated bus that can drive through the narrow streets in the city center. In the event of bad weather conditions or a defect in this vehicle, a Sprinter is used as a substitute on this line.
All of these lines are operated by the Niederrheinische Verkehrsbetriebe (NIAG) .
future
There are plans to extend the RE10 to Nijmegen Centraal Station . In the course of the extension, the RE10 would also reach the Nijmegen Heyendaal train station in the immediate vicinity of the University of Nijmegen and the Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen , so that the students commuting between Kleve and Nijmegen in particular would benefit from it.
In 2020, the platform roof on the house platform is to be removed. [outdated]
